Flight Plan

Plan your flights manually with several import and export options or even synchronize the flight plan with Project Magenta or Aerosoft Airbus products.

In this area the current loaded flight plan is displayed.

It starts with the departure and arrival airport as well as the next waypoint in the flight plan from the current aircraft position together with its distance and the total remaining distance.

Below that a list of all flight plan points is displayed together with the airway if one is used as well as the bearing and distance to the next waypoint in the list.

Right-click on any waypoint to either delete it, move it up or down, center the map on this point or completely clear the plan again.

Note: Keep in mind that editing the flight plan is only possible when you are in the manual flight planning mode.

Select this mode to create and edit the flight plan manually.

You can load, save or delete flight plans here.

To make it easier to find the right flight plan before loading it important details like departure and arrival airport together with the selected runway are displayed.

Additionally the title of the flight plan can be changed in this section.

You can define here if and which kind of airways should be used for flight planning.

Additionally you can choose if also SIDs and STARs should be used.

Note: The airway options you choose here are also used for the visual flight planning with the flight plan mode on the Map module.

First you can set the departure and arrival airport here.

Additionally FS-FlightControl can calculate an airway route between the departure and arrival airport for you and you can remove all waypoints from the current flight plan again.

Finally you can also open the import and export dialog here.

Note: All other actions like adding a new waypoint to the flight plan can be done on the Map module in the flight plan mode.

Beside creating a flight plan manually, you can also synchronize the flight plan with third party products.

Currently following third party products are supported:

• Project Magenta Airbus MCDU
• Aerosoft Airbus (both old “Extended” version and new one)

This dialog provides you with various options to import flight plans from external applications.

Use this section to easily import waypoints to your flight plan from websites like SkyVector.

First select if you want to import just a list of waypoints separated by a space (in this case FS-FlightControl will find out the airways itself) or the list includes the airways itself already alternating with the waypoints.

Then just copy & paste the waypoints list into the text field and click on the button Add Waypoints to Current Flight Plan.

Just select the desired company route from the list and click on the button Import from Company Route.

This dialog provides you with various options to export flight plans to external applications.

Use this section to easily export waypoints to other applications via copy & paste.
